Online Exclusive  

Adrian Litman started to learn about art at a very early age, playing with colors and art materials in his father’s Art Design and Restoration studio in Bucharest, Romania. He studied art in high school and college, graduating from the University of Bucharest Art Institute with a master’s degree in graphic design and advertising. After many years working in advertising in California, he left corporate America to pursue a career in art. He works in many media and a wide variety of objects — primarily on a commission basis — including fountains, furniture, mosaics, murals, ceramics, sculptures and paintings. Learn more about Litman in our online exclusive.
